Hey! I never posted something in forums, all the time I was able to find out a solution using google.
This time it's reeealy hard, because GMA965 got old and i think that nobody else is trying to make Lion GM work in it.
Because of that, i need help of some 1337 members! Hope somebody is able to find out what is wrong!
What I want: Enable QE/CI (you know that when it's disabled: worst user experience ever).

Now, I know that QE/CI is supported by this card (GMA965 0x2a02 Rev 0x003) because this card is the one in Macbook White Late 2008.
Another important info: QE/CI works fine in Snow Leopard 10.6.8 in this laptop (I was using it about a week ago, now i'm fighting with the Lion )
I dont' know why it isn't enabled natively... It works fine on the Macbook White Late 2008

You try running it in 32 bit mode? I have the same card, and in lion my graphics aren't as smooth as snow leopard, but I get the ripple in the dashboard which I read someplace means QE/CI is enabled. Anyone know if that's true? I'm running the stock graphics kexts btw.

Yep, 32 bits mode. I am using the stock kexts, and in my case adding something in the dashboard don't result in any ripple effect Strange... maybe some difference in the cards? Are you using some DSDT.aml?

What laptop are you using? I'm using an XPS M1330. I you're using the M1330, I could post a DSDT for you.

I need some help as well. I have a weird issue where my laptop will crash at times, and my mouse will still function, while nothing else will respond. I thought it was related to my graphics chipset, but I'm wondering if it's maybe something else...

Im not in lion right now or I would check, but I think the default way dashboard shows up in lion doesn't do the ripple. You have to make it show up as a space or not as a space or whatever the opposite of the default is in lion to get the ripple. Once u do that, it ripples, lol.
